‘Left the house together’: Kids help solve murder of mom of 4 gunned down by boyfriend and dumped in field, cops say

A mother of four in Texas was allegedly gunned down by her boyfriend and dumped in a Fort Worth field, where a landscaper found her shot to death and without pants — leading to a murder investigation that cops closed with help from her kids.

Taterea McGuire, 32, was found by a landscaper on Dec. 5 who was mowing a gated property owned by the City of Fort Worth Water Department, according to police officials. Her boyfriend, LeDarren Tilley, 37, has been arrested for her murder.

According to Tilley’s arrest affidavit, which was viewed by Law&Crime, McGuire was found shot to death in a field wearing a shirt, underwear, socks and one shoe. An investigation was launched by the Fort Worth Police Department, who discovered that McGuire had been reported missing by her mother on Dec. 3 after she failed to return her calls and messages.

A welfare check was conducted at her residence in Arlington by local police, who were unable to find any trace of her. The woman’s boyfriend, LeDarren Tilley, told cops he last saw McGuire on Dec. 2 when she left her residence alone.
